Chapter 626
Episode 626. A story in the reign (1)
Three months later.
“The weather is really nice.”
Namgungryong looked up at the sky with admiring eyes.
“It’s still chilly in the northern part of the Central Plains, but Guangdong Province is surprisingly warm. It won’t be strange for people who haven’t learned Negong to feel hot.”
“I see.”
Namgunghwa’s face also showed a hint of excitement.
“This is your first time coming to Guangdong Province. Is this your first time too?”
“You know. I only trained at the closed museum to meet. It’s not just Guangdong Province, there are many regions I haven’t explored yet.”
“That’s true.”
Namgunghwa’s excitement was a kind of excitement.
There were many areas south of the Yangtze River that had been controlled by the Mado Murim for generations. In particular, Hunan and Guangdong provinces were areas where the power of the magic school was very strong, and even the martial arts faction, which had a fairly large distribution, were reluctant to enter.
Among them, Guangdong Province was the region with the greatest influence.
There are hundreds of thousands of mountains in Guangdong Province. And there is the Heavenly Demon God Church on Mount Hapmandaesan.
In other words, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire Guangdong Province and even the Guangxi Province was the land of the Heavenly Demon Church. The influence of Shinism was so strong that the Murim people of the right faction had to disguise themselves to come down to Guangdong, the southernmost part of the Central Plains.
But who would have imagined that, let alone a disguise, one would be able to walk around proudly with the four letters “Uicheon Geomse (義天劍歲)” engraved on one’s clothes?
“Oh, by the way, sister.”
“why?”
“I heard your father told you to bring a sword for your sister? Did you take it?”
Namgunghwa took out a small dagger from his pocket.
“It’s here.”
Uicheon Geomryeong (義天劍令).
It is a new sign that the Namgung family is trying to create and a symbol of absolute command. It was a sacred item that only the head of the family could carry, and it was also a symbol of military power that could hold and sway all warriors in the household.
Namgungryong looked at the dagger with curious eyes.
“This is the dagger that will become the new divine Uicheon Sword Spirit?”
“that’s right.”
“Why does it look a bit crude? It doesn’t even have a sharp edge. It’s just steel, right now?”
Namgunghwa shrugged his shoulders.
“They said that Shingyo has the best blacksmith in Jungwon. He said he would ask him to do it.”
“Oh? This isn’t the finished product?”
“Ugh. Anyway, it’s too much to be sick of this right now.”
“That’s why I asked, too. By the way…”
Surprise appeared on Namgungryong’s face as he examined the dagger.
“It’s not regular season, is it?”
“Do you want to listen?”
“yes?”
Namgunghwa threw a dagger at Namgungryong.
Namgungryong’s eyes widened for a moment as he suddenly picked up the dagger.
“Oh, it’s really heavy?”
“yes?”
“Did you manage to carry it in your arms?”
“I’m used to it now.”
“What kind of iron is this?”
“From what I heard, they combined Ocheol (烏鐵) to be used for Hyeoncheol (玄鐵) paint and White Hancheol (白色寒鐵). I guess that’s why such an odd color came out.”

Namgungryong’s eyes wavered.
“Do you want to paint Hyeoncheol?”
“Yes. I heard that the leader of the church saved it for me?”
Hyeoncheol was a treasure among treasures that was more difficult to obtain than the perennial cold iron, which was famous for being rare in the martial arts world.
In terms of rarity, it is incomparable to 1000-year-old iron, and its strength and weight are especially evaluated as unprecedented. In some cases, it cost hundreds of thousands of gold, or even a million taels, to find the weight of a single pipe of iron.
“Oh my… this is my first time seeing a sword made entirely of iron.”
“It’s my first time seeing it. I didn’t even know it was this heavy.”
“I heard that melting the iron itself is almost impossible. I heard that even if you heat it for several days, it won’t melt unless you use the furnace that the old master of Sacheon has?”
“That’s a bit of an exaggeration. Anyway, it’s true that there are no more than five people in the midfield who have a workshop that can handle Hyeon-cheol.”
“And one of them is in Protestantism?”
“I guess so.”
Namgungryong turned his head to the south.
Hundred Thousand Mountains could be seen in the distance.
Namgungryong, who was quietly looking at the Hundred Thousand Mountains Mountain, suddenly said.
“Isn’t it amazing when you think about it?”
“What else?”
“It was during the review meeting before. At the Cheonjung branch.”
“huh.”
“At that time, the leader suggested that we all gather together again next year.”
“You said so.”
“But we couldn’t get together. To be honest, I was preparing.”
Namgunghwa shook his head.
“There was nothing we could do because the situation was like that. After that, all sorts of things happened throughout the midfield.”
“Of course.”
“I didn’t see you again, but I can still vividly see Master Seo’s confident eyes and voice. I never thought I’d see such a unique person in my life.”
“Me too… um.”
“why?”
Namgungryong narrowed his eyes.
“Sister, are you really interested in the religious leader?”
Namgunghwa blinked.
“why not?”
“….”
“I don’t know what you want, but I’m not that easy of a person.”
“People like people, but is there anything easy or difficult?”
“Huh? You took a hit?”
“Hi-Hi.”
“Well… Actually, Master Seo isn’t bad either. No, it’s not that bad, but it won’t be easy to find a husband like that.”
“As expected, isn’t it?”
“Yes. But I won’t marry Mr. Seo. Well, he probably has no intention of marrying me either.”
“why?”
Namgoonghwa narrowed his eyes.
“Because a man who is too busy has no choice but to neglect his family.”
Namgungryong chuckled.
“If you’re a person in power, that’s true.”
“Huh? What does that mean? So you’re saying that the religious leader is not a powerful person?”
“Let me correct this. An ‘ordinary’ person in power would be like that.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
Namgungryong pointed his finger to the sky.
“He is higher than the emperor, the most powerful person in the world, right?”
“…?!”
“Master Seo just rules and doesn’t rule. That’s what a god would do or something.”
“Huh.”
“The majority of people in the world still don’t know his true appearance, but… sooner or later, everyone will find out. Behind the emperor who rules the world, there is a monster that no one can overcome.”
Namgunghwa frowned.
“But you.”
“Yes sister.”
“It seems like you really have a crush on Teacher Seo.”
“Of course. Do you know? If I look good to the leader, he might give me a nice seat.”
Really, my younger brother has changed a lot too. The guy who didn’t say things like that easily, even as a joke, now knows how to say things quite slyly.
Namgung-hwa was happy to see such changes in her younger brother. If a person becomes too strong, they will break at some point, so it is better to have a certain degree of flexibility.
“There was a lot of unnecessary talk. Just go a little further and it’s Shingyo. Let’s hurry up and run.”
Paaaaang!
Namgunghwa unfolded the divine law.
Namgungryong was startled and hurriedly followed suit.
“Let’s go together, sister!”
The brother and sister, who quickly reached the outskirts of Hibmandaesan Mountain, soon witnessed an amazing sight.
“her?!”
Numerous workers were banging hammers here and there.
It was a major construction project spanning dozens of miles. It seemed like a huge wall was being built again in front of the old castle of the Heavenly Demon Church that towered in the distance.
Namgungryong stuck out his tongue.
“Are you trying to expand your territory?”
“Rather than expanding, it’s about realizing Master Seo’s dream.”
“A dream?”
“I heard from my father. The leader of the Seo clan was greatly impressed when he saw the Iron Blood Castle. There are civilians living in the outer walls of the Iron Blood Castle, right? They are protected by the Iron Blood Castle.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
“It looks like the leader liked that too. He wants to create a separate area where people can live. Of course, within the confines of the new religion.”
“Incredible.”
“It will take at least ten years for the construction to be completed. In fact, the perimeter of the castle walls alone must be enormous. It seems that less than ten years will be enough to create a foundation and even build a building within it.”
“But are the civilians who will live here randomly selected?”
“I don’t know about that. And I heard that Mine’s family will live here first before the civilians?”
“100 million?!”
“Most of the demons belonging to the Protestant Church are scattered throughout Guangdong Province. They said they would bring them in first. They said they would not spare any support for housing and living expenses, so I guess they will welcome them with open arms.”
Namgungryong looked around the construction site with envious eyes.
“It’s different.”
“what?”
“Principal Seo. You have gone into a completely different realm. To put it somewhat vulgarly, the waters you play in are completely different.”
Namgung Hwa chuckled.
“Because he has become the absolute best in the world and competes for supremacy in all times and times, except for the former religious leader. Even the former religious leader could not have the world at his feet like the former religious leader.”
“That’s right.”
Namgungryong smiled. It was an expression filled with bitterness, admiration, joy, and passion.
“It would be a blessing to be able to live in the same era as such a person.”
“If you think so, you are truly amazing. Many people will probably be jealous of you, Master Seo.”
If you see the leader just once, you won’t even dare to be jealous.”
“That’s right.”
“Let’s go.”
Paaaaaa!
The two of them climbed Mt. Hundred Thousand Mountains in an instant.
The Namgung siblings must have achieved outstanding achievements so far. His divine method was so fast that it could not even be compared to before. Even at that speed, his breathing was extremely stable. The
experience of his family being ravaged by enemies.
That humiliating experience actually helped the two reach a higher level. It became a stimulus to help. Is that why? Among the later political faction exponents of the time, there has not yet been a later exponent comparable to the two. The
world has changed like that. Time has passed like that.
A black beard begins to grow under the nose of an immature child, and a newly married woman begins to grow. One couple suddenly had a child running around the yard.
A force that had been praised by everyone disappeared without a trace, and a third-rate military officer who started out small suddenly grew into a martial arts sect that represented the region. A
world of repeated rise and fall. . The wind of change was blowing slowly but surely.
“There you are, sister.”
“I know, too.” Understood
!
The two people took a powerful leap and stood at the main gate of the outer castle of the Heavenly Demon Church.
“Wow….”
Namgung-ryong mouthed. I looked up at the castle with my mouth wide open.
It was truly an overwhelming appearance. Its grandeur was on a different level from other groups.
Namgunghwa’s face was also filled with admiration.
“It’s terrifying. Right?”
“Yes. It’s like looking at a small country.”
“It seems like it’s even bigger than Iron Blood Castle.”
“That’s right.”
The two people who were looking around the outer castle in a daze suddenly came to their senses and approached the gatekeeper.
Flash!
The gatekeeper. The eye light spewed fire.
Namgungryong flinched without even realizing it. The magical energy emanating from the Water Gate Guard’s eyes was truly sharp.
He realized it once again. The world is gradually becoming one.
Namgunghwa opened his mouth.
“We…”
“Are you descendants of the Namgung family?”
“Huh? Oh, that’s right. How did you know?”
The gatekeeper did not answer her words.
“Open the gate.”
Googoo googung!
The gate opened with a deafening roar.
The gatekeeper lowered his head.
“The Lord of the Nangong family is waiting for you. Please come inside.”
Namgungryong, who was blinking in embarrassment, soon touched Namgunghwa’s side.
‘Answer me.’
Namgunghwa whetted his appetite.
“thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
So the two people went inside.
The two won’t know. They would never know that the Heavenly Demon Church is not an organization that allows entry so easily. If an order had not been given from the highest level, it would have taken half a day just to pass through the outer castle.
Kugugoogung!
The gate closed with another heavy roar.
